Default Dual cut-outs behind the headers?

Is anyone running this setup? and if so are you running it 24/7?

I'm not, but I heard if the cut outs are too close to the O2 sensers they will throw some codes. Kinda like running open headers. The fresh air messes up the O2's.... Thats what I've been told.

I've also heard that, when you let off the gas it sucks in air over the o2 sensors and throws codes. But, I've also heard of people running this set-up, or maybe I imagined it .

I think you only have O2 sensor problems when its just open headers. Having a cut out extends the distance from the O2 Sensor to the open air. Maybe thats why it works OK... Please correct me if Im wrong.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Now If I could only find a idle clip of a Cammed 383 with dual cut-outs behind the headers

I'm running them on both the vette and the camaro. The vette's are located at the rear of the car...it sounds insane without cats...

The camaro is stock other than the headers and it is unbearable for more than track use...well not unbearable...but driving with them open is asking for a ticket.

I'm running dual cutouts as well. I'll see if I can get a sound clip of it this weekend. It sounds great with them open but I can't hear anything when they are!

I run them all the damned time and have no problems at all. It's loud as a ****, but not too bad in my opinion. I just love loud *** cars though. hehe.

So what about power gains/losses as opposed to 1 cutout in the I pipe?
